Last spring, Red Bull, CL, and a handful of Atlanta promoters joined forces to shine a light on local music through a series of live shows, and by connecting bands with their audiences via the Sound Select social media aggregator. All of the proceeds from ticket sales and what’s made at the door go directly to the local acts, while Red Bull covers the headlining acts to bring more exposure for the locals.

Thus far the series has included performances by Black Lips, Juicy J, Reptar, Scotty, Tobacco, Elf Power, Cusses, Little Tybee, and dozens more. For CL’s January showcase, we’re proud to announce that Sonic Youth guitarist Lee Ranaldo and the Dust will headline a night at the Basement on Sat., Jan. 25, along with Lyonnais, deadCAT, and Faun and A Pan Flute. This also happens to be the birthday party for yours truly, aka Rad Fest 2014.
